Church of Saint Margaret in Zvole, Gothic Revival church in Zvole, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Margaret is a single-nave Gothic Revival church built in 1892–1894 to a design by Josef Mocker. Its exterior is clad in unplastered fired brick, with a clock tower on the west facade and a polygonal presbytery at the east end. The nave is reinforced by external buttresses, and the interior is covered by four cross vaults with stone ribs.

A wooden church existed here from around 1267, when Zvole was founded; it was later regothicised and then rebuilt in Baroque style before being demolished in 1875 as unsafe. The priest presented the first plans for a new church in 1876, and Josef Mocker's design was built in 1892–1894. Cardinal František Schönborn consecrated it on 20 September 1894.

The church is dedicated to Saint Margaret, whose feast is celebrated on 20 July. The consecration on 20 September 1894 was performed by Cardinal František Schönborn, who brought relics of Saint John of Nepomuk, Saint Cecilia and Saint Victor; these were placed in the altar. The parishioners and local citizens contributed to the building fund through a collection.

The church is located in Zvole in the Prague-West District and remains an active place for regular Catholic services. You can visit during opening hours to see the architecture and artworks inside.

The church's single nave is covered by four cross vaults with stone ribs that meet in circular keystones and end on pyramidal corbels. Architect Josef Mocker also designed the neo-Gothic altar, confessional, pulpit and pews, all carved from oak by the joiner Mráz.
